Rodrigo M.
Weinbaum

Junior Architect

Crazy in love with creativity and good ideas; Working hard to help those ideas become true. From my point of view, architecture is about the way we experience places. It´s about the context in which our lives develop. As an architect, I like experimenting with concepts, mixing, twisting and simplifying them. Connecting the dots towards a final simple solution. Always trying to identify the major threats of the assignment to turn them into the greatest features of the project. In conjunction with design, I find in painting my passion, a world where I can feel, discover and express myself.

Hello, I am Bram.

In a time of extreme fast developments, increasing mobility and digitalized communication, people are looking for places to slow down. Places which connect you to the time and location of the moment, where the local character and atmosphere can be experienced. Places where people connect and get out of their daily rush and habits. I believe with architecture we can provide people these places. Finding the trigger to connect people with their environment is my focus.

Kris
Schouten

Assistant Designer

Architects use all kinds of components, such as the context, the user, aesthetics and emotion to tell a story. My educational background illustrates my values during a design process. My bachelor at the art academy provided me all the freedom to develop concepts, to think ‘out of the box’ and be creative. My master degree at the technical university exposed the more practical and technical side; how to actually build the design. I like to combine both expertises and challenge myself to develop and translate the concept to the smallest details in the design. The ability to tell a story and thereby inspire people is what I love to do every day.

Franka

Junior Interior Architect

Sketching, designing and creating where passions of mine since my memories can recall. Focusing on the creativity and not limiting myself to the ordinary is my expertise. Having the art academy as a basis and several years of work experience, I am able to realize ideas from the user’s point of view to well-functioning space(s). Guaranteeing the final product meets the expectation from the early design stage.

Robbin
Schaap

Junior Interior Architect

I became an interior architect to influence how people experience space and improve their way of living by improving these interiors. Creating a beautiful space where you cannot function in is not worth being in. Designing a good interior is like a puzzle with a lot of different pieces that we need to put together. Only when those pieces of functions and aesthetics fit together you get a good interior.

Liset
Oosterhof

Junior Interior Architect

I’m always fascinated by how people behave differently in different spaces and how we experience the world through our senses. The time we spend inside a space needs to properly fit the human needs and the desires at that specific moment. This means creating strong concepts for adaptive environments. Interior spaces should feel comfortable and make sense for the people who live in them.

Partner

Suprising people, asking the unconvenient questions, being the catalyst in design processes is my daily business. Creating concepts for places, so shared interests and ambitions are strenghtning eachother. My background and education in creative project development makes me a tourist in the architectural world. It enables me to think from a new role to create concepts which are truly integral. Rediscover the traditions of architects. Starting in my younger years family and friends encouraged me to exploit my sketching abilities. In my current role as concept developer, I use it to map and structure clients and users minds. A small sketch says more then thousand words.

Romana
Stanco

Junior Concept Developer

From a young age, I always had an interest in both interior design and far away cultures. The latter led me to study human geography. It learnt me to look at the world from a bigger perspective by every time looking through different glasses. A few years later and with other building related work experience behind me, I decided that I finally wanted to add to that my love for interior design. Working at Apto gives me the opportunity to do so and I hope that, with my non-architectural background, I can bring a different perspective to the table.

Jeffrey
Blokker

Assistent Designer

Research and design have been a passion of mine since childhood. Imagining and trying to find out what is best for a target group is a challenge that I want to take on every day with great pleasure. With a pragmatic attitude, coming up with a concept and design that provides the target group with all their needs is what it’s all about in architecture for me.

Daniëlle
Rietveld

Finance / HR / Management Assistant

When I started working at APTO it was my job to create order in the creative chaos: enable people to do their work. Nowadays I focus on the financial and HR part of APTO, but also still support the management in every possible way. The enthusiasm for new ideas by my colleagues and their dedication to realize them, motivates me to keep innovating our office and work systems.

Lisanne
Hoekstra

Junior Interior Architect

As a designer I am constantly looking for ways to improve the spaces and objects that we use in our everyday life. Ever since I can remember I have asked myself why things are designed the way they are and how they are made. Naturally the next question I asked myself is: how can I improve our (designed) environment. At APTO we have the great opportunity to really think about these questions. Not only by creating concepts that connect people with spaces but also by thinking about the implementation of these concepts by doing research and sharing ideas. I like to pay close attention to details because I have a strong believe that details can make or break a design. It is important to really think about the usage of materials and the way they can improve our environment. In that way we can create designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also user-, and environmental friendly.

Kasia
Knapinska

Junior Architect

The opportunity to learn is a great privilege. It is also an obligation if you truly want to exploit your potential. In APTO learning is one of the most important elements in the process of designing. From doing research about a project location, through finding new materials and ecological solutions till brainstorming with our team - we learn, we explore, we look and we find. Constant exchange of ideas in our melting pot of different cultures, backgrounds and education systems creates a perfect environment for personal development and that is why I go to APTO every day.

Henry
Pulido Garzon

Technical Designer

What role does a corner play in the human condition? We have to design in a way that every corner of a building can be a particular place, a small space where the user likes to rejoice, relax, rest, live and above all to, it is a place that allows us to be ourselves. A place for imagination, to order our thoughts, to project our life, It is a intimacy space, just to define…who I am? And who do I want to be? In any context, spaces to share, to be creative and happy. Always centered in the human experience.

Jessica
Magnée

Office Manager

Hi! I’m Jess. I’ve started working at APTO because of my eagerness to learn and explore. My ambition is to never stop learning. Being office manager in a creative company creates a lot of dynamics, which makes my job challenging from time to time. Being challenged in my job motivates me to do the best as I can and thrive to achieve the best results. A lot is happening in a company that creates stories with spaces. And I am happy to assist this company and my colleagues in telling theirs.
